Define Progress Method
Explanation
Use this activity to define how progress is calculated for individual activities. Different activities within
the same project can use different methods to accurately track their progress. This ensures precise monitoring and
better project management. Correct progress tracking is the foundation for calculating other important metrics,
such as earned value, which is essential for assessing project performance and forecasting future outcomes. By
default, the progress method is set to Connected Objects, where all connected objects are used to
estimate the progress.
The available progress methods include:
- Connected Objects Progress: Calculated based on the earned value or progress of connected
objects.
- Duration Progress: Determined by the elapsed days of the activity.
- Consumption Based: Based on the actual values used or consumed by connected objects.
- Tasks: Manually entered for tasks connected to the activity.
- Template Progress: Manually entered using predefined progress templates.
- Manual: Manually entered at different levels of the activity.
Prerequisites
- A project with sub projects and activities must exists.
System Effects
- As a result of this activity, progress is accurately calculated and tracked according to the selected method,
improving the management and oversight of the project's advancement.
